Continuity

Well! It seems I be slackin' a little bit on my blogging! You'd think with a commitment of once a week I'd be able to keep up! My sister's home!!!!!!!!! She's been home since last Tuesday with Matias and she leaves tomorrow. That's been a really fun visit. Walking is going excellent. I'm a little less tired each time and I've also increased my distance quite a bit. I'm at a lull with PT and deciding what to do next. School starts today, so, I'm gonna have a full plate again for a while. Lifting doesn't seem to have been affected a whole lot. Last Monday I got 180 for a pretty easy single. I was supposed to max out again on Friday but I've been just a touch under the weather so Brian suggested I take the weekend off. I suppose that my lack of blogging is partially due to not really knowing what to blog about. I used to attach a story with my lifting updates. But, it's just so hard to explain exactly what I'm experiencing that I got a touch frustrated with myself for not being able to express in a way that people understood properly. I have really been noticing a great deal of changes in myself lately. A lot of maturing and answers to prayers that have been prayed for years upon years. A great deal of it being that my mindset has changed and improved towards how I perceive others view me and how I view myself. I attribute a very large portion of this to Brian hanging around to continue to train me and be in my life on a very frequent basis (due to my training schedule and details of training). His continuous presence in my life has taught me so many things that they are just too innumerable to even begin mentioning. I would say it's hard for me to believe, however, that would only partially be true. The details of my dream that I had as a little girl continue to unfold on a daily basis. It's no longer just the big picture of a Paralympian Hopeful and her trainer. It's much more intricately woven than that and would only be possible by the hands of a very caring God that looks out for me on a daily basis as well. So, while it IS hard for me to believe at times, I also think I knew all along that some day it would come true. Continuity is a very important thing. There are a great many difficulties that we endure in our lives. There are also many negative things that we hear in our lives. It takes a very continuous good thing to overcome all those other life things in order to be able to believe in the good things again. It takes a long time and many repeats. But, one day you wake up and you realize, it's lasted longer than the bad stuff and it's still good and going strong.

Birthday Surprise

Not very often will I do this, but, I'm going to link the log entry of my training log on the women's training site, and I'd appreciate it if all my blogger followers would follow the link to read about my weekly update this time. It's a rather long entry and I don't want to forget anything by having to re-type it here. I hope you all enjoy. It's been a very awesome week. http://www.womenslifting.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=411#p3832
